Ellipsoidal polarizing plate or the circular polarizing disk that further laminated phase-difference plate on the polarizer is constituted describes below.Rectilinearly polarized light being changed into elliptically polarized light or circularly polarized light, elliptically polarized light or circularly polarized light being changed into rectilinearly polarized light or changed under the situation of polarization direction of rectilinearly polarized light, can use polarizer etc.Particularly, as rectilinearly polarized light being changed into circularly polarized light, circularly polarized light being changed into the polarizer of rectilinearly polarized light, can use so-called 1/4 wavelength plate (being also referred to as λ/4 plates).1/2 wavelength plate (being also referred to as λ/2 plates) is generally used for changing the situation of the polarization direction of rectilinearly polarized light.
Ellipsoidal polarizing plate can be used for following situation etc. effectively, i.e. compensation (preventing) supertwist nematic phase (STN) type liquid crystal indicator painted (blue or yellow) that produce because of the birefringence of liquid crystal layer, thus carry out the above-mentioned painted white black situation that shows that do not have.In addition, it is painted that the polarizer of control three-dimensional refractive index produces in the time of can also compensating (preventing) from the picture of oblique observation liquid crystal indicator, thereby preferred.Circularly polarizing plate for example can be used for effectively to situation of adjusting with the tone of the image of the reflection-type liquid-crystal display device of color display image etc., but also has the function of reflecting of preventing.Object lesson as above-mentioned polarizer, can enumerate with film support by Merlon, polyvinyl alcohol, polystyrene, polymethyl methacrylate, polypropylene or other polyolefin, the film that the suitable polymer of polyaryl thing, polyamide and so on constitutes carries out the member that the oriented layer of oriented film, the liquid crystal polymer of birefringent film that stretch processing forms or liquid crystal polymer forms etc.Polarizer can be that for example various wavelength plates or the be used to material that compensates the painted or visual angle that the birefringence by liquid crystal layer causes etc. etc. has the material corresponding to the suitable phase difference of application target, also can be stacked more than 2 kinds polarizer and controlled the material of optical characteristics such as phase difference.
In addition, above-mentioned ellipsoidal polarizing plate or reflection-type ellipsoidal polarizing plate are by suitably making up polarizer or reflection type polarizer and polarizer and being laminated.This class ellipsoidal polarizing plate etc. also can form by stacked respectively successively (reflection-type) polarizer and polarizer in the manufacture process of liquid crystal indicator, to constitute the combination of (reflection-type) polarizer and polarizer, and as mentioned above, be pre-formed under the situation for optical thin films such as ellipsoidal polarizing plates, because outstanding, therefore has the advantage of the manufacturing efficient that can improve liquid crystal indicator etc. at aspects such as quality of stability and lamination operation.
The viewing angle compensation film is also can make image seem more clearly, be used to enlarge the film at visual angle under the situation of the picture of observing liquid crystal indicator from the direction that tilts a little that is not orthogonal to picture.As this viewing angle compensation film, for example can constitute by the oriented film of phase-contrast film, liquid crystal polymer etc. or at material of the oriented layer of transparent base upper support liquid crystal polymer etc. etc.Usually be implemented simple tension, had birefringent thin polymer film along its face direction as what polarizer used, relative therewith, as the polarizer that is used as the viewing angle compensation film, can use along its face direction be implemented the birefringent thin polymer film of having of biaxial tension, the refractive index of the thickness direction controlled that also has been stretched by unidirectional stretching and along its thickness direction along its face direction have birefringent polymer or the biaxially oriented film as tilted alignment film etc. etc.As the tilted alignment film, for example can enumerate and thin polymer film carried out stretch processing under because of the effect of the convergent force that adds thermosetting behind the bonding heat shrink films on the thin polymer film or/and the material of shrink process, make material that the liquid crystal polymer tilted alignment forms etc.Raw material polymer as polarizer, can use with above-mentioned polarizer in the polymer phase that illustrates with polymer, can use with the painted grade that variation was brought at the identification angle that prevents to form or enlarge the suitable polymer blend as purpose such as the good visual angle of identification based on the phase difference that causes by liquid crystal cells.
In addition, wait from the viewpoint that reaches the good wide visual angle of identification, can preferably use the optical compensation polarizer that supports the optical anisotropic layer that the tilted alignment layer by the oriented layer of liquid crystal polymer, particularly discoid liquid crystal polymer constitutes with triacetylcellulose film.
Polarizer and the film adhered polarizer that together forms of brightness improving are located at usually the back side one side of liquid crystal cells.The brightness improving film is the film that shows below characteristic, promptly, when by the backlight of liquid crystal indicator etc. or from reflection of rear side etc., when natural daylight incident is arranged, the rectilinearly polarized light of reflection regulation polarization axle or the circularly polarized light of prescribed direction, and make other light transmissions, therefore brightness improving film and the stacked polarizer that forms of polarizer can be made light incident from light sources such as backlights, and the light that sees through of polarization state is stipulated in acquisition, simultaneously, light beyond the described regulation polarization state can not see through, and is reflected.Be reversed in the light that reflects on this brightness improving pellicular front once more by reflecting layer of being located at its rear side etc., make it to incide once more on the brightness improving film, make its part or all as the light of regulation polarization state and see through, thereby increase the light that sees through the brightness improving film, simultaneously provide the polarised light that is difficult to absorb to polariscope, can be thereby increase in the light quantity of utilization in the demonstration of liquid crystal display image etc., and can improve brightness thus.Promptly, pass polariscope and make under the situation of light incident from the rear side of liquid crystal cells with backlight etc. not using the brightness improving film, have light with the inconsistent polarization direction of polariscopic polarization axle and be polarized mirror basically and absorb, thereby can't see through polariscope.That is, though can be different because of employed polariscopic characteristic, about 50% light can be polarized mirror and sponge, and therefore utilizable light quantity will correspondingly reduce in liquid crystal indicator etc., causes the image deepening.Because the brightness improving film carries out following operation repeatedly, promptly, make light not incide on the polariscope with the polarization direction that can be polarized the mirror absorption, but such light is reflected on the brightness improving film, and then finish counter-rotating by reflecting layer of being located at its rear side etc., light is incided on the brightness improving film once more, like this, the brightness improving film only makes in the light of the two reflection and counter-rotating, its polarization direction becomes and can see through by the polarised light of polariscopic polarization direction, provide it to polariscope simultaneously, therefore can in the demonstration of the image of liquid crystal indicator, use the light of backlight etc. effectively, thereby can make picture bright.
Between brightness improving film and above-mentioned reflecting layer etc., also diffuser plate can be set.Towards described reflecting layer etc., set diffuser plate can spread the light that passes through equably by the light of the polarization state of brightness improving film reflection, eliminates polarization state simultaneously and becomes unpolarized state.That is, diffuser plate makes polarised light return to original natural daylight state.With this unpolarized state light directive reflecting layer that is the natural daylight state etc., after reflections such as reflecting layer,, carry out so repeatedly once more by diffuser plate and incide on the brightness improving film.Make polarised light return to the diffuser plate of original natural daylight state by between brightness improving film and above-mentioned reflecting layer etc., being provided with thus, can be in the brightness of keeping display frame, reduce the inequality of the brightness of display frame, thereby even and bright picture can be provided.By this diffuser plate is set, can suitably increase the repeated reflection number of times of first incident light, and utilize the diffusion function of diffuser plate, bright uniformly display frame can be provided.
As above-mentioned brightness improving film, for example can use: the demonstration of thin-film multilayer duplexer that dielectric plural layers or refractive index anisotropy are different and so on send as an envoy to the rectilinearly polarized light of regulation polarization axle see through and reflect the characteristic of other light film, cholesteric liquid crystal polymer alignment films or in the film substrate upper support the demonstrating any circularly polarized light reflection that will be in left-handed or the dextrorotation of film and so on of this aligned liquid-crystal layer and film that the film etc. of the characteristic of other light transmissions is suited.
Therefore, make the brightness improving film of the type that the rectilinearly polarized light of above-mentioned regulation polarization axle sees through by utilization, make this see through light and directly incide on the polarizer, can when suppressing the absorption loss water that causes by polarizer, light be seen through effectively along the direction consistent with polarization axle.On the other hand, utilize the brightness improving film that makes the type that circularly polarized light sees through of cholesteric and so on, though light is incided on the polariscope, but, consider from suppressing the absorption loss water this point, preferably this circularly polarized light carry out rectilinearly polarized lightization, reenter afterwards and be mapped on the polarizer by polarizer.And, by using 1/4 wavelength plate, circularly polarized light can be transformed to rectilinearly polarized light as this polarizer.
In broad wave-length coverages such as visible region, can play the polarizer of 1/4 wavelength plate effect, for example can utilize following mode to obtain, that is, the phase separation layer that will play the phase separation layer of 1/4 wavelength plate effect with respect to the light luminous energy of 550nm wavelength and show other the phase difference characteristics phase separation layer that for example can play 1/2 wavelength plate effect carries out overlapping mode etc.So the polarizer that is disposed between polarizer and the brightness improving film can be made of the phase separation layer more than 1 layer or 2 layers.
Also have, with regard to cholesteric, also can make up the material of different reflection wavelengths, constitute overlapping configuration structure more than 2 layers or 3 layers, obtain member thus, thereby can obtain the circularly polarized light that sees through of broad wave-length coverage based on this at the wave-length coverage internal reflection circularly polarized light of broads such as visible region.
In addition, polarizer is as above-mentioned polarised light divergence type polarizer, can be made of the member of stacked polarizer and the optical layers more than 2 layers or 3 layers.Therefore, also can be the reflection-type ellipsoidal polarizing plate that forms of combination above-mentioned reflection type polarizer or semi-transmission type polarizer and polarizer or semi-transmission type ellipsoidal polarizing plate etc.
Hard-coated film can utilize in the manufacture process at liquid crystal indicator etc. independent successively stacked mode to carry out stacked on the above-mentioned optical element, but the member that they are laminated in advance, good at aspects such as quality of stability or assembly operations, therefore have the advantage of the manufacturing process that can improve liquid crystal indicator etc.In stacked, can use suitable bonding agencies such as adhesive layer.When bonding above-mentioned polarizer or other optical thin films, their optic axis can adopt suitable arrangement angles according to target phase difference characteristic etc.
Above-mentioned polarizer or optical component be provided with above-mentioned hard-coated film on the one side at least, but on the face that hard-coated film is not set, also can be provided for and the bonding adhesive layer of other member such as liquid crystal cells.The adhesive that forms adhesive layer is not particularly limited, for example can suitably selects to use the adhesive of polymer such as acrylic acid series polymeric compounds, silicone-based polymer, polyester, polyurethanes, polyamide, polyethers, fluorine system or rubber system as base polymer.Particularly can preferably use the optical transparence of acrylic adhesive and so on outstanding, show the wetability of appropriateness and coherency, adhesivity adhesion characteristic and outstanding adhesives such as against weather or hear resistance.
In addition, except above-mentioned, from prevent the foamed phenomenon that causes because of moisture absorption or peel off phenomenon, the warpage of the decline of the optical characteristics that causes because of thermal expansion difference etc. or liquid crystal cells and with the good viewpoints such as liquid crystal indicator of high-quality formation durability, the adhesive layer of the low and excellent heat resistance of preferred hydroscopicity.
For example natural or synthetic resin, particularly tackifying resin or the filler that constitutes by glass fibre, bead, metal powder, other inorganic powder etc., pigment, colouring agent, antioxidant etc. can be contained in the adhesive layer and additive in the adhesive layer can be made an addition to.Also can be to contain particulate and the diffusible adhesive layer of display light etc. in addition.
Can utilize suitable mode to carry out when on polarizer, optical element, setting up adhesive layer.As this example, for example can enumerate following mode, promptly be modulated at the binder solution of about 10~40 weight % that dissolving in the solvent that pure material or mixture by suitable solvent such as toluene or ethyl acetate constitute or dispersion base polymer or its composition form, directly it be attached to mode on the optical element by the suitable mode of sprawling such as curtain coating mode or application pattern then; Perhaps based on above-mentioned after forming adhesive layer on the separator with its handover and stick on mode on the optical element etc.Adhesive layer also can be used as different the composition or the overlapping layer of each layer of kind etc. and being provided with.The thickness of adhesive layer can suitably be determined according to application target or adhesive tension etc., be generally 1~500 μ m, preferred 5~200 μ m, preferred especially 10~100 μ m.
For the face that exposes of adhesive layer, for before using in order to prevent that it from polluting, and can paste the separator covering temporarily.Can prevent the phenomenon that under common mode of operation, contacts thus with adhesive layer.As separator, on the basis of satisfying above-mentioned thickness condition, for example can use as required with suitable removers such as silicone-based or chain alkyl system, fluorine system or molybdenum sulfides plastic sheeting, sheet rubber, paper, cloth, nonwoven, net, foam sheet or metal forming, their suitable thin slice bodies such as duplexer are applied suitable separators commonly used in the past such as material after the processing.
Also have; in the present invention; also can be on each layers such as the polariscope that forms above-mentioned optical element, transparent protective film, optical thin film etc. and adhesive layer; utilize and for example to use mode that salicylate based compound or benzo phenol (benzophenol) based compound, BTA based compound or ultra-violet absorbers such as cyanoacrylate based compound, nickel coordination compound based compound handle etc., make it to have ultraviolet absorption ability etc.
Optical element of the present invention can be preferred for the formation of various devices such as liquid crystal indicator etc.Liquid crystal indicator can form according to method in the past.Promptly, in general, liquid crystal indicator can pass through combination of liquid crystals unit and optical element aptly, and the component parts such as the illuminator that adds as required and the drive circuit of packing into etc. and form, in the present invention, except using optical element of the present invention, be not particularly limited, can form according to method in the past.For liquid crystal cells, also can use for example liquid crystal cells of any type such as TN type or STN type, π type.
The one or both sides that can be formed on liquid crystal cells have disposed the liquid crystal indicator of above-mentioned optical element, used the suitable liquid crystal indicators such as device of backlight or reflecting plate in illuminators.At this moment, optical element of the present invention can be arranged on the one or both sides of liquid crystal cells.When optical element was arranged on both sides, they both can be identical materials, also can be different materials.In addition, when forming liquid crystal indicator, can on suitable position, dispose suitable parts such as for example diffuser plate, antiglare layer, antireflection film, baffle, prism array, lens arra thin slice, light diffusing sheet, backlight etc. more than 1 layer or 2 layers.
Then, Organnic electroluminescent device (organic EL display) is described.In general, on transparency carrier, stack gradually transparency electrode, organic luminous layer and metal electrode in the organic EL display and form illuminator (organic electroluminescent body).Here, organic luminous layer is the duplexer of various organic films, and known have: for example duplexer of the duplexer of hole injection layer that is made of triphenylamine derivative etc. and the luminescent layer that is made of epipolic organic solids such as anthracenes or this kind luminescent layer and the electron injecting layer that is made of perylene derivative etc. or the various combinations such as duplexer of these hole injection layers, luminescent layer and electron injecting layer.
Organic EL display carries out luminous according to following principle, promptly, by on transparency electrode and metal electrode, adding voltage, injected hole and electronics in organic luminous layer, the energy excitation fluorescent material that produces by the compound of these holes and electronics, when the fluorescent material that is excited is got back to ground state, will radiate bright dipping.Recombination mechanism wherein is identical with general diode, also can infer thus, and electric current and luminous intensity demonstrate with respect to applied voltage and follow the stronger non-linear of rectification.
In organic EL display, in order to take out the light that produces in the organic luminous layer, at least one side's electrode must be transparent, will be used as anode by the transparency electrode that tin indium oxide transparent conductive bodies such as (ITO) is made usually.On the other hand, thereby improve luminous efficiency easily as if the injection that will make electronics, it is crucial using the less material of work function on negative electrode, uses metal electrodes such as Mg-Ag, Al-Li usually.
In having the organic EL display of this formation, organic luminous layer is that film as thin as a wafer about 10nm constitutes by thickness.Therefore, organic luminous layer is also the same with transparency electrode, and light is fully seen through basically.Its result, when not luminous from the surperficial incident of transparency carrier and see through transparency electrode and organic luminous layer and can be once more penetrating to the face side of transparency carrier at the light of metal electrode reflection, therefore, when carrying out identification from the outside, the display surface of organic El device is as minute surface.
In the organic EL display that comprises organic electroluminescent body as described below, can polarizer be set in the face side of transparency electrode, simultaneously between these transparency electrodes and polarizer, polarizer is set, in above-mentioned organic electroluminescent body, be provided with transparency electrode by applying the face side that voltage carries out luminous organic luminous layer, the rear side at organic luminous layer is provided with metal electrode simultaneously.
Become the effect of polarised light because polarizer and polarizer have to make from outside incident and at the light of metal electrode reflection, so, have the feasible effect that can't pick out the minute surface of metal electrode from the outside by this polarised light effect.Particularly, adopt 1/4 wavelength plate to constitute polarizer and the angle of the polarization direction of polarizer and polarizer is adjusted into π/4 o'clock, can cover the minute surface of metal electrode fully.
That is, the exterior light that incides this organic EL display has only the rectilinearly polarized light composition because of the existence of polarizer and sees through.This rectilinearly polarized light generally can be converted to elliptically polarized light by polarizer, and particularly when polarizer be the angle of the polarization direction of 1/4 wavelength plate and polarizer and polarizer when being π/4, will become circularly polarized light.
This circularly polarized light sees through transparency carrier, transparency electrode, organic film, reflects on metal electrode, sees through organic film, transparency electrode, transparency carrier afterwards once more, converts rectilinearly polarized light once more to by polarizer.Then, because therefore the direction of polarized light quadrature of this rectilinearly polarized light and polarizer can't see through polarizer.Its result can be covered the minute surface of metal electrode fully.
